Aikido
and Conflict Resolution
To offer no resistance
by
Dennis Hooker
By offering no
resistance you do not become part
of the conflict but part of the
resolution. After all Aikido is
Conflict Resolution on a very
real scale. My partner brings
conflict into my world and I should
seek only to bring resolution
to the conflict. Sometimes the
resolution is not harmful to the
aggressor and sometimes the resolution
may be deadly to the aggressor.
That is his problem I only seek
to find resolution and restore
harmony to my universe.
